Car arrived in record time from NC to CA! Driver was most courteous and even had my son help with the unloading of the car (his wife let my son push the buttons to lower the lift)!

I've only driven her roughly 15 miles to get gas and to the DMV since it's been pouring rain here but wanted to share a few pictures of the delivery. The dealer was pretty good up to the point of the sale. They promised me both keys and the owners manual but the car arrived with only one key. After a long firm phone call and email they promised to send it do me so I will withhold any rants or names for now.

Aside from the transaction the car is pretty good, it has only 1500 miles and 1 owner prior. Almost brand new interior and had the carbon seats which was a deal breaker for us. I think the 458 just looks so bland without them. The Red leather interior was a big plus as it spices up the colors and matches our 2004 GPW NSX perfectly.

Next on the agenda is using the OEM suspension to lower the car 15mm and install the BBS wheels.

One Q: I can't get the radio to turn on, is there any trick since I tried pretty much every button on the panel?

thanks

What does your right screen display? If it's the speedometer you need to press and hold the BackView button for about five seconds to get it to change to the main menu which will give you your choice of navigation / media / phone / radio. The button on the back of the right side of the steering wheel lets you change sources for media between ipod, hard drive, cd, radio, satellite.

Thus far the car is perfect but haven't had much time to drive her lately. I came from quite a few R8 v10's, Huracan and a 2017 NSX....each car is unique in their own right.

thanks for the help on the radio still working on learning how to use it.
